We would file this under the “No-Duh” file. But still, it’s worth sharing. Hilton Hotels & Resorts recently published a Blue Paper titled “Resort Travel Trends: What Families Want,” featuring consumer input from two research studies commissioned by a collection of premier properties within the Hilton Hotels & Resorts portfolio. They asked consumers with …
Okay, we aren’t saying we condone this kind of behavior, but here’s an interesting take on enjoying all that hotel swimming pools in Los Angeles have to offer, without actually staying in any hotels. And there’s this (San Diego) and this from Life Hacker and this from NYC. Honestly, I’m no Pollyanna and …
Today’s hotel swimming pool history lesson is on the Disneyland hotel. Check out this link for some really cool photos of what the pool at the Disneyland hotel looked like before it’s renovation. I’m torn: that pirate ship looks really fun. But the new E-ticket Pool with the monorail slide …
I’m not sure I buy that these 10 pools are actually death-defying, but Hotel Chatter compiled a cool list of rooftop pools and somewhat scary swims, some we have previously covered. I especially would love to check out that often-photographed and much tweeted hanging-off-the-edge pool in Dallas (a lot like this summer’s most …
The pool at Aulani is already supposed to be spectacular. We’ll be there in December and don’t think you won’t get a full-on, photo-filled gushing (we hope) report. But there are plans to make it even better! Guess that means we’ll have to go twice. I know we are totally …

Is this one of the ten hotel swimming pool plagues (along with leaky swim diapers and over-zealous chair savers)? or a really cool feature? Check out this red pool in Morocco. It’s the Murano Resort Marrakech and according to Aqua Magazine it’s the red tile that gives the pool that scarlet …
You must go look at these now. Vintage postcards of hotel pools in Los Angeles, some of which are still around, some of which are now 7-11 parking lots. It’s like hanging out with your grandparents, watching Mad Men, and reading the World Book Encyclopedia entry on “Hotel Pools” all …
These aren’t all hotel pools but many of them are—some of them mentioned or soon to be mentioned on this site before. But it’s a nice summary in the Atlantic about the growing trend of cantilevered or suspended pools. And I’m glad it points out which images are renderings for …
Check this out. The article asks if this is the scariest hotel pool you’ve ever seen. Really? We’d have no problem checking that out. It’s at the Holiday Inn, Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao and I guess the property is billing it as somewhat of a thrill ride: ” If you are brave …
